AIPAC seeks assurances Iran deal 'preserves Israel's right to respond' The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a leading pro-Israel lobbying group in the United States, issued a cautious response to President Donald Trump's announced memorandum with Iran, saying it was awaiting further details. "We look forward to learning the full details of the framework for these negotiations, including whether the deal preserves the sovereign right of our democratic ally Israel to respond to the security threats it confronts," the group said. AIPAC said the US Congress "will play a critical role in working with the administration throughout these negotiations and in reviewing the ultimate agreement". It added that any final deal should address Iran's missile and drone programmes as well as its support for armed groups across the region. The organisation has long backed a tougher approach towards Iran and supported the scrapping of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated under former President Barack Obama, a policy later adopted by Trump.
